在COVID-19感染患者中观察到各种皮肤表现。带状疱疹是一种由水痘带状疱疹引起的病毒性皮肤病，在原发性水痘感染后，带状疱疹在皮肤神经的背根神经节中保持休眠状态。在这份报告中，我们描述了两个病例COVID感染谁首先提出带状疱疹。我们在此提出，在当前大流行时，即使在轻度或无上呼吸道症状病史的患者中，HZ的临床表现也应被视为近期亚临床SARS CoV 2感染的警报信号。
Various cutaneous manifestations have been observed in patients with COVID-19 infection. Herpes zoster is a viral skin disease caused by varicella zoster that remains dormant in the dorsal root ganglia of cutaneous nerves following a primary chicken pox infection. In this report, we describe two cases COVID infection who first presented with herpes zoster. We are here by suggesting that the clinical presentation of HZ at the time of the current pandemic even in patients giving mild or no suggestive history of upper respiratory symptoms should be considered as an alarming sign for a recent subclinical SARS CoV2 infection.
